Contact forms

We don’t pass on anything from those forms we reply and then possibly we use the information to make changes to the way we work or to the visitor experience.

Cookies

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Who we share your data with

We don’t share any data with third-parties.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Contact form entries will be kept for six months, analytics records for a year, and customer purchase records for ten years.

We will only ever collect information we need. When we ask you to provide your personal information we will let you know why we are asking and how we will use your data by directing you towards this notice.

We hold your information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
